![]() These models are still child-friendly, but they might need a bit of a helping hand at intervals – like squashing the top of the Origami Pumpkin Box. The first model is an easy origami Ghost, but it’s one of my favourite designs in the book! There a couple of different fun origami pumpkins among the two star designs. The models given a single star are very simple and certainly suitable for children to fold unaided. Each of the ten models in Origami for Halloween is given a difficulty rating of one to three stars. There’s a real sense of playfulness and fun about all of Stephane Gigandet’s models in this book, typified by designs such as Mr & Mrs origami Ghost. This book is suitable for people of all abilities, including children and complete beginners, so it’s good for people to get familiar with this diagramming style early in the folding career. It’s personal choice though, and many origami books do follow the convention that Stephane has adopted here. I prefer diagrams that arrange the steps left to right on the page, top to bottom, on every page. Stephane has adopted the diagramming convention of a ribbon of steps that flows down one page and up the adjacent one. I think this is a nice touch – there doesn’t have to be a ‘right’ way to fold any model and it’s good to see how other people have interpreted the models. There are pages showing Stephane’s models folded by other people and how they have put their own ‘spin’ on Stephane’s designs. The quality presentation continues throughout: Origami for Halloween is well presented, and the models are colourful and look appealing. Thankfully, most origami books are well designed now and the days of producing origami books as cheaply as possible on poor quality paper seem to be gone. ![]() I have said before in other book reviews that I think this is important for origami books. The first thing I noticed about this book is that it is attractive to look at. I need to up my game – I’ve only designed one model (my Olympic Rings) in over 30 years!
